Thom Yorke performing a sweet version of Analyse from his album The Eraser at the Mercury Music Awards earlier in 2006. www.megaupload.com/?d=7WY0VEQP courtesy of Richyg1991 2 = ^ )
It's actually the media (photographers) who he is staring at. Hence the distasteful glare. He wouldn't look at an audience with such disdain. It's been documented anyway 😮
I can't believe it was so long ago.... I remember the next day Rolling Stone or someone running a "what was Thom thinking?" survey for his extended glare at the beginning hahaha
ha ha, yes, if looks could kill :) I remember reading in the comments a while ago, that someone said he was staring down at some people talking, I dont how anyone would want to talk through this though
I can't believe this has 10 years! I'm a huge Radiohead fan and I just discovered this some months ago...and as almost everything of theirs and of him...I fucking loved it...♡♡♡
great performance, humbly bows to the audience, gives a sarcastic smile for the journalists who accuse him of never smiling and leaves the stage without the award. classic yorke
@@SeaWiseProduction Your comment made sense but being incurably curious, I did a bit of digging and found the actual history of the name: - Reviewing the Smile's first gig May 23, 2021, Danel Kreps (Rolling Stone) wrote: In his lone remark during the performance, Yorke introduced the band, “Ladies and gentlemen, we are called ‘The Smile.’ Not the smile as in ‘ahh,’ more ‘the smile’ as in, the guy who lies to you every day…” The trio took their name from a Ted Hughes poem of the same name. Now that DOES sound very Thom!😄
I'd just like to point out the courage it takes to stand on a stage and perform so intimately to so many people - to open yourself up like that. It takes guts.
imagine inviting Thom to your wedding and he takes over the piano. Then suddenly all the people in the ballroom start to question the meaning of their life
It makes sense, Thom Yorke does not make music in search of awards but for passion. He gives himself totally when he plays for his audience, whether with his main band, Radiohead, or solo, or with his other projects.
@@musibaba70 But firstly Radiohead (or previously On A Friday) made music exactly for awards, to get attention. When they got it with Cr... you know what song, and singles like Pop Is Dead, only then they could afford themselves luxury to play what they want.
MDR !! Excellent, je te suis tous les jours sur tes vidéos cryptos et je m’aperçois ici que tu as de très très bons goûts musicaux !! Ne change pas surtout…😉
In all honesty, if I had ever arrived to write a song this beautiful, layered and profound, not to mention being able to play it so flawlessly, and sing it so incredibly, I would sit back on my ass smugly until the grave. But for Thom Yorke, this is just one of scores of such songs. He touches our souls and just moves on and does it all over again.
Has to be the most underrated man in music history, and that's still with the knowledge that he's the front man of one of the most famous bands of all time. If someone like John Lennon had written had a song like this, you would never hear the end of it. This is simply genius.
I listened this song first time when I watched the movie Prestige. It was in the climax as a theme song. I don't remember the movie much but this masterpiece stayed with me all along. Thank God I discovered this hidden gem.
@@TheSpitacular fr unbelievably great film something seriously eerie about the whole thing. Blows my mind everytime and then finishes with this brilliant piece by Thom - might just be my favorite film of all time..
I never knew my father and I've been listening to Thom & Radiohead since I was 15, so in my mind, his songs are my father's advices that I carry through life
Didn't realise the true majesty of this song until I saw this live version. Love it when that happens. Reminds me of when I heard "Like Spinning Plates" for first time on I Might Be Wrong live recordings. Beautiful song :O)
This song is telling me to live life to the fullest, be nice to people, and don't have any regrets when I get to my final breath. tear-inducingly beautiful, and boy that outro bridge!
There were "hecklers" that booed. He was giving them "the stare", lol! The "if you don't like it then leave" type of look. His mouth was smurked, it wasn't his mad face. If ya know his history and his beliefs on things, plus watch the whole awards show, you will see it differently.
Freeze the frame at 5:35 for that gorgeous, gorgeous smile! Thom, you are so achingly beautiful, is your heavenly voice. I love every single thing about you.
The song is fairly straight forward.. yet he pours his soul into every little note and that is what makes it so significantly beautiful. Once again, thank you Thom Yorke.
j'ai découvert cette chanson au générique final du film The Prestige. Depuis, c'est devenu une sorte de réflexion qui revient souvent pour m'accompagner tant sur le plan humain qu'artistique. Paroles sublimes, grande interprétation, musique d'une simplicité profonde. Et Thom Yorke est un être habité qui peut nous emmener loin en nous-mêmes.
The way his fingers slip on the piano,how he flirts with the mic-it's amazing how a so simple existence can hypnotize your senses.I still can't describe with words the way this man enters my ego
I am almost 60. Since I started public school, they ground it into my head to smile. Children always look so happy don't they? But they are slaves to the people that they depend on for love, food and lodging. They got us by the balls. I am so tired of smiling for people. I want to break this habit. That's what I got from the ending. I feel ya, Mr. Yorke.
I love this guy. I mean you just have to love someone who delivers one of the most beautiful and poignant song and then... That grin at 5:35 ! ... He's just so adorably human, smart, talented, serious and funny all at once. I just love this genius of a man.
This songs reminds me of one of the greek philosophers,, cant remember which one (either aristotle, plato or socrates) They said that the average person was too involved in their sporting events, jobs, social lives and families to ever give deep contemplative thought to the biggest questions in life,, what is ethics? what is the meaning of life? So what they do instead is abide the rules someone else wrote and play their part. This song to me is about how as modern busy people, especially the urban dwelling people who "rolls in reams across the street" we don't take the time to analyse what we see because "there is not time". Sounds right to me. Maybe to Thom a proper life is one where you don't act until you know for sure what you should do, what is right, what makes sense and he feels that too many people just do whats in front of them. Play a part. But for most people this isnt available,, graduate, work, buy, consume, die. Its expected of you to fit into society,, whether you understand why or not. The existential dilemma (why am I here? what is my purpose?) is becomming quite common as people live lifes in which they feel less power over themselves. We rely upon electricity other people make, food other people make, gas and cars other people make, houses other people built. There's a sense of pride in doing things for yourself. What do you do for yourself in a city? You'd be lost without all the things other people do for you. I think this song is somewhat about being lost. So I think its about the disconnection of people from thought. You have little time and lots to do, you don't get to analyse,, you have to move on to the next matter before the last one has made sense. theres no time to analyse to think things thru to make sense it gets you down
"The unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates Yep, sad but that's the reality for most people who are just trying to survive. And when people do realize what would make their lives more meaningful, it's hard for a lot to make the change with so many limitations, societal pressure and restrictions.
What happens when Thom York does a solo performance? It's like a vacuum in time and space. You can't take your eyes off him, he's utterly hypnotic. If you ever wanted to show someone that indescribable magic that some performers have, this would be a video to show them.
It is so exquisitely beautiful ❤️ Thom just mesmerizes me, he touches my soul like no other musical artist ever and I’ve listened to some amazing music at 61 years old.
A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility In rolling reams across a screen In algebra, in algebra The fences that you cannot climb The sentences that do not rhyme In all that you can ever change I'm the one you're looking for It gets you down It gets you down There's no spark You've no light in the dark It gets you down It gets you down You traveled far What have you found That there's no time There's no time To analyse To think things through To make sense Like candles in the city, they never looked so pretty By power cuts and blackouts Sleeping like babies It gets you down It gets you down You're just playing a part You're just playing a part You're playing a part Playing a part And there's no time There's no time To analyse Analyse Analyse
Ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone, piango, è di una profondità e di una bellezza che non può lasciare indifferenti. Thome è un essere umano , un poeta, un musicista di grande sensibilità. Impossibile non amarlo. ❤
Thom's one of the best voices ever... He is a music genious, just like John and Paul were, and sometimes i think he's even better than them. Anyway, Analyse is just an incredible song... Magnificent performance... Love Radiohead till the end of the world...
Talking about the song, is like trying to describe the divine. I will prefer to remain on his look alone, while staring at the audience. It's the pure essence of artistic excellence and what makes an artist stand out. This man, when performing, feels like he's living in another dimension where everything else seems meaningless and small. The body language, the voice, the song, the expression...out of this reality!
thom yorkes just a genius with music...he himself doesnt really think he is and doesnt think he's very talented as he's said in many interviews but for a man to be able to come up with something so amazeing as this. it just shows how humble he is and just how fantastically unreal his talaents really are....love this song so much!
If you love this song, we’re friends without every having to meet or utter a word to each other.
One day Thom Yorke will be recognized as the Greatest singer songwriter musician that ever lived 🔥
@Modus888-if9yj you're probably right...
"You're just playing you part..."
This line is so simple, yet so haunting.
Yes
That moment when he looks into the crowd before he sings is absolutely great
It's actually the media (photographers) who he is staring at. Hence the distasteful glare. He wouldn't look at an audience with such disdain. It's been documented anyway 😮
@@sudanbewaobdedebothe media ruins everything tbh.

Согласна, пронзительный…
10 years later and I still keep coming back to hear this..

Same here 😉
Good stuff lasts forever

There's not another single human being on the planet that i look at in complete awe like i do this man. No words.
Even Lee Glasson ?
No words, huh? For someone who's speechless you're quite verbose.
Billy corgan?
great performance, humbly bows to the audience, gives a sarcastic smile for the journalists who accuse him of never smiling and leaves the stage without the award. classic yorke
Exactly, he's "playing his part".
i never thought it was sarcastic damn...i thought he was saying to.keep.the smile on the face.
So classic Yorke! WTF, smile? Can't they find anything else to complain about?
And thats why the band is called "the Smile" ;)

We are lucky to be alive at the same time as Thom.

Abigail Ho and there will be "a punchup at a wedding"
he wouldn't come
Дмитрий Скрябин jajaja that's true..he wouldn't
Дмитрий Скрябин you don't think?
Haha😅😀
This performance is far away the best i’ve ever seen on a live show
It makes sense, Thom Yorke does not make music in search of awards but for passion. He gives himself totally when he plays for his audience, whether with his main band, Radiohead, or solo, or with his other projects.

Beautifully put
Thom Yorke himself is a living instrument and Jonny plays the world.
We're all living instruments; only some of us never learn our instrument or get it tuned
Deep as the ocean this man is.
His vocals on that ending...my god.
Brendan Steffens I come back and watch/listen to this a few times a year.... the ending is absolutely off the charts.
❤️
His voice is like an instrument. He has such a beautiful voice
I really like how the audience obviously appreciates and enjoyed the song. But they don't go fucking screaming in the middle of it like fools.
The audience has either got good crowd-control or Thom has got serious room-owning powers.
Yep, it's the mercury music prize. That place is basically full of other musicians so I guess that's why.
0:42 'You people disgust me'
I haven't noticed that! But it's true!
He was actually staring down this guy who wouldn't shut up.
Devin Ellis I imagine being stared down by a musical genius would be quite awkward :)
Devin Ellis how do u know? u were there?
Spiderman
I was.
Insane version, the best I've ever heard. This voice is fantastic, the end is absolutly incredible. I constantly come back to this video !!!
17 years later and still coming back to this. love it so so much... thank you thom!
my favourite 'thing' he's done ..... and there are many ......
Might have to agree with you. It’s right up there.
Has to be the most underrated man in music history, and that's still with the knowledge that he's the front man of one of the most famous bands of all time. If someone like John Lennon had written had a song like this, you would never hear the end of it. This is simply genius.
He's amazing and I believe is the greatest talent in modern music
I don't much like John Lennon, but Thom Yorke is astonishing.
Underrated?
He's a god
He’s nowhere near “underrated.”
@@greenman6141 same
omg, my sincere love for this beautiful man
listened to this song about 12 times this evening
He is a diamond.
That was hauntingly beautiful 😍❤❤❤
Thom you’re the coolest guy in the world ❤️
I listened this song first time when I watched the movie Prestige. It was in the climax as a theme song. I don't remember the movie much but this masterpiece stayed with me all along. Thank God I discovered this hidden gem.
The movie was great as well
You should definitely revisit that film. It’s a masterpiece if you can piece together the pieces.
@@TheSpitacular fr unbelievably great film something seriously eerie about the whole thing. Blows my mind everytime and then finishes with this brilliant piece by Thom - might just be my favorite film of all time..
This has got to be one of the best live pieces ever performed, beautiful
A peerless genius of our time.
Brits makes the best music. Ever since the British Invasion
5:35
Ladies and gentlemen, we are called The Smile
I never knew my father and I've been listening to Thom & Radiohead since I was 15, so in my mind, his songs are my father's advices that I carry through life
it was almost 20 yers ago and its sttill so beutifull for me

Here after watching The Prestige
Jayden Lawson Absolutely amazing film
Mitchel Danielson agreed!
Such an underrated film.
Same
Yes men i was looking for this comment.While now i have watched it the film :')
Such compelling lyricism...Thomas Yorke...The *greatest*...
***** haha, kind of hard to miss if I keep posting Thom Yorke:D
I lve the look he took at the audience at the begining , it was very mysterious !
why???
supposedly, two people were talking loudly, so he decided to stare them down until they realized it and stopped.
Ron Krupa LOOOOL
There were "hecklers" that booed. He was giving them "the stare", lol! The "if you don't like it then leave" type of look. His mouth was smurked, it wasn't his mad face. If ya know his history and his beliefs on things, plus watch the whole awards show, you will see it differently.
hes totally awesome....
So, it is actually possible that an audience can keep quiet for five minutes. Why was I not there.
Einar Eiriksson not really..that's why he does that death stare in the beginning. someone won't stop talking.
+Zachary Spier Do you know what a gig is? Compared to every other performance he's done that wouldve been the quietest room in the world
Is the Thom effect
Sends shivers down my spine
and this just sounds likeeeeeeee analiseeeeeeeee
Freeze the frame at 5:35 for that gorgeous, gorgeous smile! Thom, you are so achingly beautiful, is your heavenly voice. I love every single thing about you.

Im coming here for this version of the song for 16 years...
One of the most beautiful songs I ever came across from Thom!
I love the stare out at the beginning. So much.
This is like spinning plates, so different from the studio version and each beautiful in its own way, i like both.
Hundred percent.
he's amazing
The prestige was the thing that introduced me to this song. Ive been coming back for years.
I am almost 60. Since I started public school, they ground it into my head to smile. Children always look so happy don't they?

That would be creepy asf

I saw Yorke once in my sleep. He was living in a trailer like the ones in the video for Street spirit and he was talking about God.
OMMFG been obsessed with this since the day it was posted. what a beautiful song.

Wp
Felipe Muniz yeh, it's pretty self explanatory. BTW, I think it's "in rolling reams across the screen, in algebra.." etc
Nice copy and paste
His voice resonates pain. Beautiful.
Every time I listen to this it gets more and more beautiful. If that's even possible
Amazing. Imagine the music industry without Thom Yorke; he is stunning, amazing. His voice is like no other. One of the loveliest voices there is.
What happens when Thom York does a solo performance? It's like a vacuum in time and space. You can't take your eyes off him, he's utterly hypnotic. If you ever wanted to show someone that indescribable magic that some performers have, this would be a video to show them.
This live performance is brilliant ! The musical genius of our age with a piano…I have to listen again and again !
I'd love to be that microphone...
yes yes yes yes yes
Brandon Sharpe The gay train is here!
Brandon Sharpe I thought exactly the same thing when I saw how he touches the mic with his mouth...
Gaaaay
the way he looked to the people in the beginning explains the whole song.
Such an astonishing performance by Thom Yorke, so much soul and emotion into every note, the message is clear, this is great start to finish.
It is so exquisitely beautiful ❤️ Thom just mesmerizes me, he touches my soul like no other musical artist ever and I’ve listened to some amazing music at 61 years old.
He is absolutely special
Its unique shape to express their feelings and translate them to music, Therefore my friends, being is a true genius
Well said
Still after 12 years I come back to this...Pretty much sums it all up. So happy I have heard this voice live🙌!
The GOAT
He's a dream! They way he make people feel is from other world! Very wonderful soul!
A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility
In rolling reams across a screen
In algebra, in algebra
The fences that you cannot climb
The sentences that do not rhyme
In all that you can ever change
I'm the one you're looking for
It gets you down
It gets you down
There's no spark
You've no light in the dark
It gets you down
It gets you down
You traveled far
What have you found
That there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
To think things through
To make sense
Like candles in the city, they never looked so pretty
By power cuts and blackouts
Sleeping like babies
It gets you down
It gets you down
You're just playing a part
You're just playing a part
You're playing a part
Playing a part
And there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
Analyse
Analyse

Fences that you cannot climb and Sentenced that do not rhyme are switched my friend 😁

I especially like how he used the piano. Not the usual boring soppy chords.
It's rhythmic and haunting.
So for a few minutes all those shiny happy celebrities felt hollow as most of them are
Thom Yorke is brilliant. I just wonder how he comes up with these beautiful songs! His voice is so wonderful and soft
Wish I could meet him :(
I think I've added 1,000 views to this video, I can't stop watching it.
So you did analyse
Whos still coming back to this masterpiece of a performance in 2018/?/?/?/?
I do🙌!
HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKING GOD. What a beautiful song. Maybe the MOST beautiful song of all time.
Thom's one of the best voices ever... He is a music genious, just like John and Paul were, and sometimes i think he's even better than them. Anyway, Analyse is just an incredible song... Magnificent performance... Love Radiohead till the end of the world...
Voice of an angel
The best !
The first time I watched this was the moment I realised everything Thom Yorke does is brilliant.
You kill me Thom, you kill me.

this man is unbelievable!
Music has always been, but then came Thom Yorke.!!!
Thom Yorke is a true artist and a genius. His type of musical talent is so rare to find in todays music.
Where have they all gone?
thom yorkes just a genius with music...he himself doesnt really think he is and doesnt think he's very talented as he's said in many interviews but for a man to be able to come up with something so amazeing as this. it just shows how humble he is and just how fantastically unreal his talaents really are....love this song so much!
hes a beautiful musician
I get chills every time I hear this, it's so efffing haunting and beautiful, maybe one of the most beautiful performances I've seen in my life.
I love this man.
Magnifique comme tout ce que fait Thom Yorke
Mesmerizing performance. Thom Yorke enchants you with his music
2021. Always.
2024. Always
